Lightbulb Hmm 2012 or 2013

Well this is the week the decision is to be made. I was in Fl this week. There was not much difference in the price as it was in NY. Of course there is a 2 percent tax difference. The best I got from one dealer there was about 3 to 4 grand off MSRP for a 12. This include me owning a X5" change over , so to speak. TO be honest if the X5 didnt look so much like the one I am getting rid of I would have stayed with them. I like the new design of the ML so I am willing to take a chance and get something out of the "box". I have been driving BMWs for the last 16 years. The dealer here has offered me 52,725 for a 12 . I am not sure if a 13 would be more advantage. I am not sure they may not give me the same off the MSRP? I do love the color of the one I have my eyes on.

Discount shouldnt make any difference these days both are in demand so no factory cash incentives so playing field the same except slight increase for 13 as new equipment included

Do you or anyone else know what the new change/charge is for. I am assuming there is something that is now standard.,

I would always go with the latest model year...better chance of the bugs being ironed out.
